I was fixing it up and a buyer drove by and offered to purchase it.It became my 1st exchange, and I've now owned over 1000 different rentals in the last 35 years.

I like to save the buyer's or seller's side of my commissions on flips.

I tried contacting them via county assessors office and white pages.com, but no luck.I have a list of buyers, and know what I'm doing, but I cannot aquire properties.

You need to create a buyer's list.

I had a POF and LOI from a buyer but they are exploring other options as all the bulk reo deals fell apart.

If you are planning to wholesale the property, you would market to your buyers list or in many other ways, and when you found a buyer for the property, at a price which would include your assignment fee, you would assing the contract between the seller and you, to your end buyer (the assignee).

I have short sale payoff, have cash end buyer and need to close the deal.

How many prospective buyers / tenants are you able to attract?

Does anyone know how I can find ligitamate buyers?

Does anyone know if I can buy insurance to cover my losses if a buyer fails to close the purchase of a home?
